2012 Map of Sills

About this map

The Chipola River winds through this landscape on the Florida-Alabama border, anchoring a region of complex hydrology and rural settlement. The community of Sills serves as a central point, situated near Hart Airport and the confluence of several small waterways. The terrain is defined by a series of springs and seasonal water bodies, including Daniel Springs, the broad Waddells Mill Pond, and the secluded Open Pond. Local history and family roots are tied to the many named roads such as Christmas Rd and Ephesus Church Rd, which lead to long-standing landmarks like Friendship Cem. The drainage patterns of Cowarts Cr and Moulten Slough illustrate the low-lying, water-rich nature of the Panhandle interior. This survey provides a precise view of the rural infrastructure and natural springs before more modern developments altered the local character.
